How is it that we want to disintegrate one of our own when he displays misjustice? within the arguments comes a standstill. Therefore we call in a arbitrator. Known as the government. Who without understanding our conscience, impedes a denominal sentence. Is this satisfactory to my conscience? I say not!
I say Pete is sentenced to 30 days of hard labor as a Porter. And must carry all our haul bags off the Captain. That would soothe my conscience.
